Fox's Nose

At Lisii Nos, or Fox's Nose, a farm in British Columbia's Fraser Valley, in a wintry attic on Christmas night, a girl named Julia makes love with her cousin. Afterwards she discovers a grubby exercise book in a trunk—her grandmother's diary of the seige of Leningrad. She becomes obsessed by the account of the privations her family endured and of their encounters with enemies, both from beyond the city limits and within their own psyches.
